Cruel Night (Tanka Poetry)

Sound of Light Jingle
Plaintive cries uncared not heard
Dark cruel mean vile thought
Savage blows hit stomp crush her
Life Death Pass Gone Past Return

CHARACTERIZATION

From Souls to Bellows

Thoughts of tomorrow fill the air rapid

Soldiers dreams of war descend to nothing waste

Mounting step by step wearily yet consistently

Forging backbone of steel bend carve is way to heart strong

American American dream of proud, free, knowledge pursue gain

Soul to soul he troubadour play the drum almighty one speak

Who is the one who nearly break but stand anyway

Character character character is the one who forge a country great

From the depths of bellows come thrist within

Character character character is the one who lead the charge for education leaps bounds

Distant proud serve country young but proud is the way of all within

Army Army was my alma motto proud the best best of all serve us round

Looking here and yesterday clear my character formed clear as thistle yet stronger than titanium steel is a true character abound

Character character character is the way of emulating the few, the proud, the brave

Sounding loud left right we go to fight for all near far secure secure fast hard savage clear purpose near for all sear

Looking to the East West who goes without a doubt of strength built without

Closing fast is will of force built forged by God’s nostril of wind

Character character character is characterization learned by all few proud brave soldier guard keep safe 

Solar lights twisting turning relays light of acknowledgement of all people’s plight

Leading way is people of knowledge wisdom strength hollow deep shallow but hidden below

Wisdom is to characterization as water is to sublime pleasure of mastery of all souls within the keep of steeple

Character Character Characterization of all hold country safe bold creative steady hand at helm leads way

Dare to Dream

Remembrance of a man greatness fill my mind fathoms.

Martin Luther King showed all way to peace.

He embolden the dream of I have slept many years but

still I have your care in mind.  Thoughts dark and depressed

fill me now of seeing my people without dreams and purpose

lead me to sadness dark.  I acknowledge that times are hard

but I feel the dream is still alive and it fills me now.  I have a

Dream that we will all be free to learn, lead and be a credit to

our race.  My dream for us all will always stand and come forward

and march by itself.  I have a dream of nights filled with sugary

thoughts of life happiness and achievement for all.  Greatness means

nothing for a small or non-important man is still the same measure in

God’s eye as it should be in man’s eye.  I have a dream of days sublime

and thoughts filled with joy of teaching a young ones heart to fly, leap,

accelerate with thoughts of future technology to help all poor and rich.

I have a dream of nature being subdued and held by some and harnessed

to prevail for humane safety.  I have a dream of freedom bells ringing from

tree top to church vassals and life affected by many stepping stones of

sparkling rivets of pleasure, joy and creative thoughts of one who lost

her way.

I have a dream of contributing something to live for and giving my life

effort to see the young strive, work, glean and churn yesterday’s problem

to tomorrow’s victory.  I have a dream of children’s expansion of thought

magnified to see a plan in thought put in motion in second’s galore.

Martin Luther King was this type of man who symbolizes all the good, bad,

Love, charity, cherish, and thoughts  that he sees his people expand, expand,

Learn, accelerate, think and see all his dreams achieved for one and all.

EARTH UNITED

In a world gone crazy mad
Life seems so uncertain and yet true
Colors of us all signify everyone is true
Ethopia to Ivory Coast was my destiny found
Life of many riches had I seen
Power, love, strong my destiny calm me
Resist Resist responsibility I beg leave of again
Struggle struggle willful people bring all to shame
Traveling far wide even eye seen cannot
Black white yellow beige brown kaleidoscope color us all
Divided we fall unaware of traps beneath
Unite the force against tides of unrest
Secrets Secrets Secrets bury deep but still seep
Knowledge Knowledge gain who wants to know of secrets secrets held below
Ostrich claim us all for shame double us down
Scandal large far true not all just gossip befall us now
Kick it to the wind leave it there
Just gossip malice with teeth reflect to all
Sorrow of yesterday is pleasure strength love today
Hand to hand Earth United we will for all who love comes to the flow
See us all same different great small yet wheels of cobb makes us all
Destiny Destiny great care who but acknowledge as person respect us all
Lifting turning life of changes reflect world renown for character deep
Earth United quest for Truth, Justice, Liberty for all we clamor for sameness
Country young proud justice be our playing field
Never degrade, desecrate honor fought for deep proudly held
Earth United us all for Liberty, Charity, Love, Respect carries us all

World Reality

Mind aglow with life's shadow
Soft whip against unplotted flesh
Leisurely surveying scars attained
Analysis of personal life set of flames
Restore righteous to mans womans pride
Retrograde of yesterday fulfill past
Past present subsets of blue yellow green
Mind focus on jealous crows flutter
Ambition no yes maybe lazy yes possible maybe
Sorrow I cannot fill for mind set against
Too bad she lost laugh laugh still the
night is young

The Sound of a Poem

A bloom comes to life petals unfold gently to life searing sound
Lush and red sweet joy fill the air
Unique and sweetly scented glows love enthrall all
My heart of music seeks to hear a play of melody's cry
Jiggling free is former's woman freedom portrayed
Casting looks of life is bones of set
Eclipses of moon soon set free a heart captured none
Briskly light pearls caress the palm
Shades of night caress lips made puffy sweet
Arms of a song of Lord grip the night
Othello's Shakespearean character knows his lines of sweet charity refine
Poems of song enliven wits keen sublime
Sound expressed of poem intricate simple
Slashes flashes of melody cry a symphony of blasting flames
Songs of morrow yesterday poetry streams like balloons cry
Infinite wisdom reflects poems of song love past rehash
Cymbals chimes enlight the mind of song
Drums roll alike to beat up call
Sound of a poem reflects music to all
